Investigation Summary
On June 30, 2003, Employees #1 and #2, both high-voltage lineman, were unloading a 38 ft long steel crossarm from a delivery truck/crane. The crossarm became dislodged from its grip and it swung up and into a 115 kilovolt distribution line, electrifying the ground around the vehicle. Employees #1 and #2 were electrocuted. The vehicle was not grounded.
